Making Money With Free Blogs - The Truth
| As I mentioned before I had my short break away I have now been blogging for a full year. I have also reached a few conclusions about making money with free blogs. Firstly, there is a lot of garbage written by some so called experts. They tell you, for instance, that it's necessary to have a proper domain name, a well designed website and that you have to spend money to succeed. They also spout lots of other rules about SEO, keywords and so on. Okay some of these extras may be able to help you along the way but the reality is that you don't need all this - unless you particularly want to go down that route. Like all 'experts' they like to mystify the subject they write about. It makes them sound all the more important when they use special abbreviations and dress up what they say in fancy words. The truth about making money with blogging is in fact quite simple. First it's about what you write. It doesn't have to be extra well written, it's just got to be either useful or entertaining. If you are lucky enough to be able to do both so much the better.  I was reading about Alice Cooper recently and, no, I'm not a fan! I am interested though in anyone who has been successful in any field. Anyway, Alice said that when he started out he was up against the likes of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Motown and so on. So he rehearsed. Nine-tenths of his time was devoted to songs and only one-tenth to his image.In Cooper's words, "If you don't have good songs you're no more than a puppet show." If you are talking about blogs you can substitute the word 'songs' for 'content'. The right content solves nearly all of the problems that experts tell us that we'll have to overcome to make money with blogs. It really is that simple. The other simple truth is: the more traffic you have the more money you'll make. Yes, blogging is generally a numbers game. There are exceptions but I'll cover this another time. When I was involved with network marketing I remember that when I joined Herbalife they told me: Talk to some people and you'll make some money, talk to lots of people and you'll make lots of money. I chose to make lots of money! Dress things up however you want but making money is in relationship to the number of people you communicate with. With blogging these people are your traffic or hits. The first two truths about making money blogging are therefore. (1) You need useful or entertaining content and (2) You need as much traffic as you can get. Sorry if that sounds all too basic or simple but life is simple, we tend to over complicate everything. I'll cover some other aspects of making money with free blogs over the next week - as I see it. Good luck, Mike. Subscribe to Mike's Money Making Mission Subscribe to Mike's Money Making Mission by Email Labels: Free Blogs, making money |
Welcome Back Mike !!!.
I have to tell you that I've doing great with The Newsroom video feeds.
But I wanted to know if they have already issued your check or at least contacted you to get your tax info.

Hi Mike welcome back from your trip. While you were out Google put out video ads via You Tube as well now. What's your opinion on those ads? It doesn't look like its pay per impression like The Newsroom though. After some tinkering I was finally able to put one in a post at my blog, but its a little large. That and you can't pick a certain video to show.
Also like Jonathan posted before I could. Have you been paid by Voxant yet? I've heard some people say they were slow payers, and it would be good to get a response on it. I don't get near enough visitors to hit that payout mark.
mitch.
they are slow payers indeed. once you reach 50 bucks in one month, they say they will issue the check 30 days later....I am callind them this week to see if at least they can send the payment through private mail...because if not, it will take 2 months to get the money.
I'd think Voxant faces the same issues as anyone who is at the mercy of advertisers for revenue - the advertisers pay just as slow. I do hope to see that they pay because I'm getting better results with them compared to other ad networks.
Mike, about your post - it's generally right on the money - I am not good at SEO, and certainly don't want to spend much time on it - just concentrating on entertaining content and networking. I find I get better results traffic-wise when I network, instead of trying to do SEO (or maybe cos I am bad at SEO).
Hope you would share some of your traffic methods. :)
Mike, as you see we would like to see you doing a post only on Voxant, and only if they happen to be a scam or something, you can write it right here on your blog. I've searching to see if anyone has a review on voxant but there is no information at all. But I'm dead sure that a lot of people are looking for this, as they seem to pay very well per thousand impressions.
Hi!
Regarding Voxant. No, haven't received payment from them as yet. They do say though 30 days from the end of the month. So in theory may not arrive until 30th of October.
As regards whether they have asked for my tax info. No they haven't but as I'm not a USA resident this won't apply - at least it never has before with other affiliate programs.
I will say when (if) I receive payment as I know many people are interested.
Thanks all,
Mike.
